Expert Manhattan Foot and Ankle Clinic Treats Sports Injury in New York

New York City boasts many sports medicine doctors, orthopedists, and general practitioners who diagnose and treat sports injuries. But, frankly, some of them are stuck in the Stone Age. No one wants to hear: “Go home, rest, ice it, wear this bandage, and put your feet up” when you’ve had chronic pain for more than a month. By the same token, no one wants to be rushed into surgery, either.

The Center for Podiatric Care and Sports Medicine, located at 111 East 88th Street in Manhattan, NY 10128, understands what you’ve been through and your needs. We offer a new approach to sports injury treatment using the latest technology to get you back on your feet as efficiently as possible.

Dr. Josef J. Geldwert founded The Center for Podiatric Care and Sports Medicine in 1990. Over the past 40 years, Dr. Geldwert diagnosed and treated sports injuries in local athletes of all ages and levels, from peewee to high school stars to major league starters and Champion Olympians. He cared for runners in the Hamptons Marathon, NYC Tri and the Westchester Toughman Tri, as well as tennis players at the A&P and Newsweek classics. He’s worked with the NY Lizards, NY Liberty, NY Magic, and NY Power sports teams. Dr. Geldwert specializes in running injuries like sprains, fractures, stress fractures, tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis.

Dr. Katherine Lai has been with the practice for nearly 25 years and brings an in-depth understanding of the latest natural and holistic healing methods. She graduated with honors from the New York College of Medicine, where she now teaches orthopedics. Every year, she treats runners’ sports injuries in the Bridgehampton Half Marathon, the NYC Tri and the Hamptons Marathon.

Dr. Ryan Minara has worked with us for more than seven years. He obtained his undergraduate degree from NYU on a full academic scholarship and went on to get his doctorate from the New York College of Medicine and served as chief resident at New York Hospital Queens. He worked alongside Dr. Geldwert overseeing NY Lizards practices and games and working events like the NYC Tri and Hamptons Marathon.

Testimonials

“I am so grateful for having had Dr. Geldwert perform bunion surgery on both of my feet. I have complete confidence in him and continue to see him for other sports related injuries. I was cautious about having surgery for the first time, but his knowledge, patience, and skill made me completely comfortable in trusting him. And I couldn’t be any happier with the results!! When anything else feels wrong with my feet, I love that I now know to go immediately to him. He is my top choice for anyone searching for the best foot fixer/surgeon/sports doctor in NYC! Thank you, Dr. Geldwert!!!”
